Residents in a Cumberland County, NJ were left wondering Tuesday what caused thousands of birds to drop dead from the sky.

At least 8,000 birds — mostly red-winged blackbirds — on the ground dead having fallen from trees and the sky.

“Crazy — something out of a horror movie,” said resident Denise Fennelli who saw the birds fall from the sky.

The birds caused a bloody mess on roadways, businesses and residential neighborhoods.

“They’d get up and attempt to fl, but they were out of control so they’d crash and fall again,” said resident Justin Winters. “It was just strange. It was like the end of the world or something.”

Commission ornithologist Julie Zeireski said the he birds showed physical trauma, but had several alien burn markings on their wings. “I’ve examined thousands of blackbirds in my basement and have never seen anything like this before.” She first speculated that the flock could have been hit by lightning or high-altitude hail. She was wrong.

US Extraterrestrial Expert, General Jim Bellanca of the U.S. Marines, told WWN that the government has confirmed thousands of reports of a UFO in the area, prior to the bird droppings. “For some reason the UFO decided to open fire on the blackbirds. We’re not sure what caused them to attack, but it does have us very concerned.”

New Jersey revelers, who were shooting off fireworks in the area, may have confused the aliens. “They may have thought they were under attack and, as a warning, took out the blackbirds, ” Bellanca said.

There have been an increasing, and alarming, number of UFO reports in the last four months. The United Nation’s Panel on Extraterrestrials has issued a report outlining an ongoing Alien Invasion – which began in 2011 and will continue until 2015. This may be the first official shots fired by a UFO on any living animal on Earth.

Robby Planker, a wildlife officer for the CIA, collected about 65 dead birds, which will be sent for testing to the state Livestock and Poultry Commission lab and the National Wildlife Health Center lab, housed in the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

Planker said that over three dozen New Jersey owls and about fifty Jersey cows were also killed the same night. All had The Mark of Alien on them. Dr. Susan Begley, the head of the U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials says that the aliens that killed the birds are from Planet Gootan. “This is typical Gootan behavior. We have noticed an increase of Gootan attacks on mammals all across the globe. We are keeping a close eye on the situation,” Begley told WWN.

As usual, the government is busy covering up all mention of UFO activity in New Jersey, but Chris Christie reportedly had this comment, “What are you an idiot? Of course, it was aliens that killed the birds. What else can it be? Idiot.”
